U+CEB0 "캰" Hangul Syllable Kyan Unicode Character
U+CEB0 "캰" Hangul Syllable Kyan is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean writing system representing the sound "kyan."

This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean jamo (letters) as single code points for efficient text processing and display.

Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and interoperability across platforms and fonts for the Korean language.
